Block B - the last block in Phase One to be completed
Block B is one of four new build separate blocks which surround a central courtyard containing a new play area. The blocks also benefit from underground car parking space.

On site Energy Centre run by Scottish and Southern on our behalf
The centre contains two gas boilers providing residents with heating and hot water. Phase Three will see a Combined Heat and Power (CHP) engine installed. The centre is energy efficient and reduces C02 emissions by localising energy resources.

Art panels on the Energy Centre
Children from a local school helped design the art panels on the energy centre at Orchard Village.

Play area in new development
Phase One saw the development of a new play area developed in the internal courtyard of four new blocks.

Lowen Road prior to the regeneration project
These blocks have now been demolished during the Phase Two demolition.
